A chess saying... — "White plays to win, black plays to draw." I don't remember who said it, but it's an interesting thing to talk about. What do you think?

Who hates 1e4, e5? — I have a total hatred of symmetrical king pawn openings and have not participated in one for years and hundreds of games. I am not sure if this is because these games don't suit my style as black or white, or if it is because these games remind me of when I was learning to play and loosing almost e, play online chess ...

ratings — Does anyone know how to approximate a 1700 GN rating to USCF rating? Ron You may approximate it to a USCF CC rating but not OTB. Can someone explain what GN, USCF, OTB stands for ?

Controversy in U.S. Women's Championship — main.uschess.org Be sure to view the Armageddon game in question.

Chess and Alcohol — Does anybody find their alcohol intake increase when playing out a tight game which could go either way? For example, if you were playing me as white against Yakky in "In Old Matey's Shadow Part 2" or a game very much like this, would you feel like unwinding with a glass of wine or two af, play online chess ...

Scrap the stalemate rule! — I have never felt that the stalemate rule is fair. my reason for this is that before the word checkmate came into the game of chess people would have to physically capture the king before that. Saying checkmate was just saying to your opponent that there is no possible move that they can make to av, play online chess ...

Vukovic - The Art of the Attack in Chess — In my last OTB tournament game at my local chess club, I was paired against a much stronger player. I was White, playing the Closed Sicilian and had a bit of kingside pressure. I botched the attack and went down in flames. After looking over the game I decided that the next book I'm going t, play online chess ...

Interesting. — Playing OTB. Opening comes as 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 at this point white accidentally touches his king, forcing Ke2 giving black a mate on e4. Quite shattering if you ask me! That is pretty stupid. Accidental brush with the back of the hand happens often, is always ignored and can't be cons, play online chess ...

Mate with only knight and bisschop?? — The endgame is me with only a knight and bishop. My opponent offers a draw, saying I cant mate her.

Chess news:

California’s Reputation Grows With New Events — It is not surprising that California is a center of chess in the United States. But in the last couple of years, there has been a burst of activity there, with a large number of international chess tournaments that have given players a chance to qualify for grandmaster and international master titles. Two groups are behind those chess events. One is Metropolitan Chess, which is based in Los Angeles and is run by Amanov Zhanibek, Ankit Gupta, Konstantin Kavutskiy and Alejandro Ruiz Jr. Metropolitan has held 13 invitational chess tournaments, as well as a major international tournament last August. Nine chess players have earned norms toward titles at Metropolitan competitions, according to ...

Some are still ready to risk a fabled gambit — The most romantic of chess openings doesn’t get many dates these days. A favorite of 19th-century masters, including Paul Morphy and Johannes Zukertort, and a powerful — if occasional — weapon in the arsenal of chess gunslingers such as David Bronstein and Boris Spassky, the King’s Gambit is a rarity on the modern tournament circuit. Though never refuted, the gambit opens up White to a dangerous attack, and a number of defensive ideas have been found for Black to return the sacrificed pawn and set up a reasonable defense. Still, there are a few top chess players willing to run the risk, if only for the sake of ensuring a dynamic, unbalanced struggle. American GM Hikaru Nakamura used the King’s Gambit to ...

Aronian leads Tata Steel Chess Tournament after 4th round — A fine technical victory with white over Gata Kamsky of the U.S. in fourth-round action brought Armenia’s Levon Aronian back on top of the standings in Grandmaster Group A of the 74th annual Tata Steel Chess Tournament at Wijk-aan-Zee Tuesday (see picture). The world’s second highest ranked chess player was level with Norway’s Magnus Carlsen, who headed the field as the sole leader at the outset of the round but had to settle for a draw with black in a hard-fought Berlin Wall game against Fabiano Caruana of Italy (see picture). Referring to his defeat at Carlsen’s hands the day before, Aronian expressed his joy at finding himself “on the other side today. This time it was me who was pressing, and ...

Matthew Sadler continuing his impressive comeback at Wijk aan Zee — Matthew Sadler is the only UK chess grandmaster competing at Tata Steel Wijk aan Zee, which passes halfway this weekend and attracts more than 7,000 viewers daily to its live games on the internet. The 37-year-old, originally from Kent but now a Dutch resident, is top seed in the C group, where he currently stands on 3/5 after a slow start. Sadler was ranked in the world top 30 and had the current world chess champion, Vishy Anand, close to defeat at Tilburg in 1998 just before he suddenly abandoned chess for an IT career. His impressive 2011 comeback when he won first prizes at Barcelona and Oslo occurred during his normal work holidays. In an interview for ChessVibes just before Wijk, Sadler explained that ...

On Chess: Nakamura's style backfires at times — Hikaru Nakamura is the whirling dervish of the chessboard — whose pieces seem to assail his opponents from all directions. Playing for fun is his credo. Victories against top chess players are frequent for him — including a recent one against reigning world chess champion Viswanathan Anand. Nakamura’s fondness for double-edged moves has prompted Garry Kasparov, his recent mentor, to urge him to play more solidly. But taming Nakamura is “like tethering a wild stallion,” according to columnists Harold Dondis and Patrick Wolff of The Boston Globe. In a recent chess tournament in Reggio Emilia, Italy, Nakamura jumped off to an early lead. With three rounds to go, he was two points ahead of a field that included ...
